Each has three ummm electric outboards at about 300hp each. The local wildlife don't seem to mind they are often joined by many dolphins. The day before my tour they had four Southern Right whales within a couple of metres of the boat for quite a long viewing period. An 18ft Great White feeding on the surface for 30 mins not long before that. Nothing bigger than a seal on my tour day!

I wonder though how ecologic the RIB is. Is it powered with an electro motor?
